Paul and the other hoplites would KILL me for using cotton as the framework of the linothorax... :?

To quote from the Hoplite Association's website - specifically, http://www.4hoplites.com/Linothorax.htm :

Quote:DO NOT build from cotton or canvas as a substitute or to reduce the overall material cost by putting these layers underneath a facing, linen one. This is false economy as the various cloth properties react differently with the glue. The strength of a linen build arises partly from the way in which the linen absorbs vast amounts of adhesive.

and http://www.4hoplites.com/Reenactment.htm :

Quote:Under no circumstances use cotton.

And yes, I'm going to glue the layers!
